Shape fillet

- [Instructor] Here I'm going to talk about shape fillet.…Shape fillet is a tool unique to generative shape design…and it is an extremely powerful filleting tool.…I'm going select any icon…and to get this document,…you can use the document that you downloaded…out of References or you again select the F1 key…on the keyboard, download ShapeFillet1…from the DSO help documentation,…open it up and get to work.…So, the way this works…is you pick two surfaces that are not joined to one another.…

Surface one and surface two.…What it does is it sets up…a couple of normals, as you can see these red arrows,…and those normals are pointing…to what would be the center of the radius…for the shape fillet.…In this case, these two surfaces…the way they intersect…there's a potential for four solutions.…So, if I come in here and hit Preview,…you'll notice that in this direction and this direction…this would be the center, I get this fillet.…If I reverse this,…Preview, I get this fillet.…

If I reverse this one,…and so on.…What you're basically doing…

CATIA is a world-class 3D software that incorporates computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and computer-aided engineering (CAE) capabilities. In this course, get up to speed with CATIA V5 by learning how to work with surfaces using this powerful tool. Learn about the basic surface creation tools like extruded and revolved surfaces, as well as offset, sweep, and fill operations. Plus, discover how to join, split, and trim surfaces, and how to verify that your surfaces are built cleanly using the Connect Checker.
